Description:
CheckEmAll! is an application to help you manage numbered checklists, up to 200 items.It’s a very simple and no-nonsense application that is definitely going to be useful if you happen to have many numbered checklists to manage.
Instead of messing up in Memos, or creating tens of tasks, or purchasing an application that still doesn’t have the numbers pre-entered, you could easily manage your works with preset numbers up to 100 for multiple databases.
For example, you need to revise Chemistry before your term exam, and you have around 20 lessons. You choose to revise them in a random order.
With CheckEmAll! you may enter the total number of lessons in the uppermost field, and then you can check next to the lesson numbers you’ve finished revising without the hassle of searching for scraps of paper or folding the book’s edges as signs.
So this is 2-in-1; you remind yourself of the total number of items and the certain numbers of items done. Another example; you decided to watch a bunch of The Family Guys episodes on several DVDs. You can check next to the corresponding numbers so that you don’t forget which episodes you’ve already watched. And the choices are endless…
Update Description:
v1.32:
- Added a feature to set Alarms for each record with different preset and custom messages to choose from. The Alarm screen is reachable via the menu in Title screen or via the ‘Alarm!’ button in More screen.
- Modified Help content in the menus.
v1.3:
- Added 100 more checkboxes, making the total number of checkboxes 200!
- Added a single checkbox at the top to be checked once all items are checked (manually checked).
- Added a header for the main table
- Added Menu features and full help for each screen.
- Major reposition of checkboxes in 4 screens.
- Major reposition of navigational buttons.
- Other minor changes and enhancements.

I agree, PhreakOnALeach, that it’s really simple.
But it all depends on the idea.
This idea, in this exact form, has not been implemented in a Palm app before. That’s why I thought of making it, first of all for myself, to help me organize the medical video tapes I watch, and second, for those who might need it.
It has actually sold a couple of copies in 48 hours.
Also, take in consideration the list price; it’s $4.99 – and that’s really low if you’d be using it on a daily basis.
Thank you for your comment anyway!

PhreakOnALeash – just because an idea is simple and easy to implement, doesn’t make it bad.

Hi Doc and thanks for your efforts.
I’ve taken upon myself a daily learning schedule that includes lessons on five or six topics. My problem is that I often do these small learning sessions in different places, at different times of the day, and with different media. Sometimes I complete them on the train, sometimes in my office, sometimes in friends’ offices, sometimes on my Palm, sometimes on my laptop, sometimes with books, sometimes with friends’ books, etc. The problem is that I often forget whether I’ve completed yesterday’s or today’s lessons. The modern digital age!
What I’d like is a Palm program that will let me check off each topic-lesson after I’ve completed it. The thing is, I need the checkboxes to be linked not to a numbered list but to dates of the week. Each day I’d be able to check off a checkbox for each of the five or six daily topics. After the week’s boxes were all checked off, I’d have no use for the data so I could just erase them. I just need to keep track for which lessons were done and which need to be completed.
Is this doable as a Palm app? Any thoughts? Thanks much and best wishes.

Of course it can be done, but the problem is that I have no more time for developing Palm apps. It seems I won’t be making any more apps. I’m sorry. You can ask for this in 1src.com forums; there’s a section for developers there.
Sorry for replying so late and good luck with your studies!

Can you edit it enough to let it go above 200? or maybe have a 0-9 drop down at the top? I want to keep a list of comics and more than one series goes above 200…
or could you release the code to allow someone to change it? I really appreciate the cool program. I keep my comics list on a bunch of note cards with a similar grid on them for years.
Thanks again!

Hi Tom. Sorry for replying so late. I’ve been very busy.
I can do it simply by manually adding extra pages with more check boxes. I could add 100 or 200 more, but how many is enough? You may want 500. Others may need 1000. However, the majority of people will not need more than 200. That’s why I chose this number. It’s difficult and unpractical to increase the size of the app (which will slow it down) just for a minor section of users. Besides, I don’t work anymore on Palm apps at present. I’m sorry.
You may create multiple records for the same comic. For instance they will be titled like this “Batman part 1″ and “Batman part 2″,…etc — In part 2, “01″ would correspond to comic number”201″, and “100″ to “300″,…etc — it could be tiresome, but that’s the only solution to get around this, I’m afraid.
Hope this helps.

That is a good idea. another idea would be to only have 0-99 listed and then have a drop down for each 100. then you could easily have the pages like you said but for comics that start at say 200 (when a title changed names like Green latern did. that way you could make it smaller by having only the two pages 0-50 and 51-99 and list the 1-9 for each hundred. so you could count 1-999. I think superman is up over 800 issues now.
You idea is good as well. I may try it that way. but i also saw that one of the comic tracking programs integrates with listpro, so I may go that route.
I have a program or two to write something like this but not the time or ability….
Thanks again, It still has a bunch of uses for me!

no offense but… That is a REALLY simple app, programatically wise. I mean, where’s the features? I could do that in 10 minutes w/ OnBoardC.
